The first Session of the Provincial Council of Nelson closed on Tuesday last. The Council was prorogued to the 18th of October next, which will give a somewhat longer vacation then was expected but the cause of this, we imagine, is to allow time for the sitting of the General Assembly, which has been sommoned for the 24th of May.

Notwithstanding the weights the mares will carry (Symphouy 10 st. 7 lbs., Flora lOst. 41bs.) we expect to see the race ran in very quick time. Flora it deoidedly the favourite, at about 5 to 4.
